March April May Debt re-cap

I have been MIA for way to long on the debt updates.

But don't worry we have been plugging along

We bought a new car.

And we cash flowed a ton of it

We traded in the mini van that was more than we wanted to spend on a van anymore and we got a 2012 GMC Acadia 

We reduced our debt by $5,000 and we put a down payment down of 4,000

We are hoping to have it paid off by September.

We had a few emergencies that we had to cover and they are all small but when added together more than we would like but again we are focusing on the positive which is our behavior modification of not charging anymore

I mean 3 years ago if our video monitor had stopped charging we would have charged a brand new one this time we had to wait save up the money and buy a new one. 

We also cash flowed a deck for our pool

I know I know we are in baby step#2 but this was something we knew we needed to be able to use our pool this summer because it's impossible to carry 2 year old twins down a ladder alone.

So we cash flowed that as well. 

But June well June is going to be a big month. We plan on paying off about 3,500 in debt and kicking the truck payment to the curb by the end of summer

I mean the snowball is real and it is amazing. 

Another thing we have been doing is talking about our house

We have a 3 bedroom 1 bath and for a family of 5 we are quickly out growing it and the bathroom situation is less than desirable. 

We talked about moving and doing it now (we would make money on our house and be able to pay off all our debt!) however there is nothing in our price range that would fit our needs. So we have decided that once baby step#2 and # 3 is complete (August 2019) we will be saving up all our money for 6 months and be doing an addition

I have a whole post on what we are going to do coming up next week so stay tuned!
